Moments in Time (a poem)

Babenhausen West Germany, 1975

In my time, I’ve
learned most recently,

Per near now, seventy…

An impression can last forty-years;

That is, as one old friend said:

‘…how a moment or moments in time

Can leave a lifetime (impression) on people.’

The proof is in the pudding, when he wrote

Back again, “In a way we are all a product of

Those we…come in contact with on

Our journey through life. …and for that I am

Forever grateful (to you).”

#5030/1-26-2016/For Butch McGee

Note: Inspired by two letters from Butch
McGee, after having no contact with him for four decades (1974-1977), Letters
received in January of 2016, where upon the poet called him from Lima, to
Alabama. Mr. McGee being an old soldier friend from West Germany; where they
had spent 30-months working together, per near every day, for 8 to 10 hours a
day (which comes to about, 6000-hours). Thank you Butch for your insight!
